Bugatti Chiron Sport

France accounts for just 23 of the 600 cars in this catalogue, yet one of them sits near the very top of almost every performance measure here. The Bugatti Chiron Sport is sixth for power, seventh for acceleration to 100 km/h, and eighth for top speed. Those rankings matter because they are earned across every category in the collection, not within a narrow peer group. They also frame what this car represents inside the French contingent: a machine that reaches the catalogue's highest tier through outright engineering rather than volume.

That engineering is unusually focused. Just seven of the 600 cars here combine a turbocharged W16 with all wheel drive, placing the Chiron Sport in an exceptionally small technical subset before its outputs are even considered. An 8.0 litre W16 delivers 1,479 bhp and 1,600 Nm, enough for 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds and a top speed of 420 km/h. Those figures explain why it remains so close to the absolute limits of the catalogue, but the layout itself is equally distinctive. With only seven W16 powered cars in the entire collection, the engine is as defining as the numbers it produces.

Scarcity reinforces that position without needing embellishment. Production totalled 60 cars between 2018 and 2022. Within this catalogue, only 30 of the 177 cars with recorded production figures are rarer. Bugatti contributes 10 cars to the collection, yet this variant occupies a particularly selective corner of that group through its combination of production count and technical specification. It is also one of the most expensive acquisitions available, with a typical used value of £3,200,000, placing it twenty first overall and ahead of 579 other cars here. That equates to £2,164 per bhp, a figure that underlines how exclusivity and performance intersect rather than compete.

Its two seat fixed head coupé body keeps the focus tightly on the mechanical package beneath it, with all four wheels tasked with deploying every one of those 1,479 bhp. In a dream garage built from these 600 cars, the Chiron Sport does not exist to represent France alone. It marks one of the catalogue's outer boundaries, where rarity, engineering format, speed, power and value all converge within the same car, leaving remarkably little further to climb.
